Can Zoplicone Be Taken For Insomnia?

can I take Zoplicone for one night to help me sleep. I am afraid to take it longer as I have R.A. Also I am afraid of side effects. Took it last night and fell weak today, low blood pressure and at present I have acid reflux problem so my throat and mouth are very dry. Would zoplicone may make it worst? Is it safe to take it another night.? I first took it last night.

I read your query and I am sorry about your problems.
As for your question Zopiclone presents no particular problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis so there is no obstacle to taking it in that sense.
However regarding the acid reflux problem, at times it can have as a side effect dyspepsia, and reflux problem so that could further exacerbate your symptoms. Also it could cause dizziness the following day which could explain your feeling weak.
Hope to have been of help.
